Radiooo
To what extent is Late Night Woman's hour influenced by economic factors?
- BBC pays for Late Night's Woman Hour - BBC don't have adverts because they make profit through TV licenses = We pay a TV license - a PBS - public broadcasting service
- Audience is niche - making it non-commercial - target audience = middle aged, middle class women
- People may not want to advertise on a radio programme like this because they speak about niche topics for niche audiences
- The BBC has to make their media products widely available - they have very niche programmes e.g. BBC 4 (where they play things like ballet - they keep it going because a few people still watch it) - the BBCs remit is to present pluralistic ideological perspectives
How have digital platforms changed the way we consume radio?
- you can listen to it wherever and whenever you want
- can listen on different devices - can listen to it on phone
- don't have to listen exactly when it is playing, can stream it later
- can chose your own songs now, dont have to wait for the radio to play it
- it allows audiences to pick and chose what they can listen to - David Gauntlet's "pick and mix" theory - for example on Spotify and Youtube
- Digital technologies also allow the audiences to create things - for example a podcast
- its maximised accessibility
- much larger range of radio stations
- it gives you an attractive website - BBC sounds allows you to find other things you like, its nice and colourful and you can see the presenters etc.
- thumbnail images are an excellent way of categorising things and attracting audience
DRAWBACKS OF THIS =
- almost too much information - because there is so much being made, things can get lost

Commercial radio = what we have been listening too - production values are high as they are all done in a studio etc.
Clay Shirky = Theory = 'end of the audience'
According to Shirky, we are making our own things now - sharing something, retweeting something, blog about it etc. = breaking down the idea of an audience
Podcast = Conspiracy Theory podcast -
Video Games glorify violence:
"you can't ban things and not ban others"
"it's not the gun that kills the person, it's the person who pulls the trigger"

BBC Radio 1 - Chris Evans show is huge as it has a mass market appeal
Media plurality = appealing to many different small audiences
The remit of the BBC = a system of rules they set out for themselves
Their remit is to inform, educate and entertain
One thing when listening to BBC shows is that we do not have adverts
License fee for BBC per year = £154
Don't need license fee just for radio yet it is the license fee that funds the radio
- Netflix is cheaper month by month than the BBC
- Spotify is a premium streaming service - paid for month by month or you have to listen to adverts - Spotify over BBC sounds is that you can listen to most things
- Amazon prime, Hulu, Disney+ and lots more
The BBC is currently going through huge changes - the BBC could have stopped all this as they were considering joining forces with ITV and Channel 4 to make a streaming service but this was stopped by the UK Government due to monopolisation.
After a programme has been on the iplayer for a certain amount of time, they are removed whereas on Netflix you can watch whatever you want whenever you want
Criticism of BBC = overpriced and political biased
BBC is being challenged by digital technology
there are lot's of ways of breaking the law with digital convergence - however with digital products we can make our own things

OFCOM - complaints
OFCOM = office of communications
Complaints about Love Island - lot's of complaints about Ollie, who has recently left the island, as a picture was seen of him and a dead animal he had killed - it was an endangered animal - legal and ethical restrictions/regulations
Also because of nudity and sexually explicit
2 people have killed themselves after appearing on the show
One of OFCOMs guidelines is that it needs to be ethnically diverse and needs to include other minorities like black people, LGBTQ people, disabled people and more
- OFCOM also looks at what could harm the audience - like extreme sex or violence -
Overall, OFCOM aren't very good - alternative is total guidelines or not having any at all
Broadcasters must be impartial - if someone talks about buying books on Amazon on the BBC, other companies that sell these books would see them as promoting and supporting the product - same for politics, they cannot side with any party
BBC need to ensure they are pluralistic and have wide reaching programmes
Late Night Women's Hour - going against regulations?
quite sexist - said that women aren't as good as managing money as men are - get away with it because they have a niche audience
